Heard last night: 10++ reasons why bike lanes shouldn't be on Walkers & Appleby Line south of New St.

City staff is recommending road diets on Walkers & Appleby Lines south of New St. to Lakeshore.  The 4 vehicle lanes would be reduced to 2 vehicle lanes, a centre turn lane and  bike lanes - a mirror image of Guelph Line south of New St.

Want bike lanes on Appleby & Walkers south of New St?

The City of Burlington is carrying out a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to review lane configurations for Walker’s Line and Appleby Line (areas South of New Street).  The project is following the approved planning process for “Schedule B” projects under the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The primary option being considered is a reduction from four travel lanes to three lanes (north/south and turning) with on-road bike lanes in these roadway sections, same as Guelph Line south of New Street.

A good idea
